"Someday" is a song by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey from her self-titled debut studio album (1990). Prior to Carey signing her record deal with Columbia, she and producer Margulies had written and produced a demo which included, "Someday". Once Carey began work on her debut album she reached out to Ric Wake and asked if he would produce the song to which he agreed.

"Someday" was released as the album's third single from the album on November 15, 1990 and was released the following month in the United States with multiple remixes. The song was a critical and commercial success; being described as a highlight track and going on to become Carey's third consecutive number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100. "Someday" was subsequently included on many of Carey's compilation albums and greatest hits releases, including her MTV Unplugged (1992) album #1's (1998), Greatest Hits (2001), The Essential Mariah Carey (2011) and Number 1 To Infinity (2015).

The song was released on August 18, 2005, by Jive Records, as the sole single from Spears' first extended play, Britney & Kevin: Chaotic (2005). In July 2004, Spears announced her engagement to American dancer Kevin Federline, later revealing she would be taking another career break to start a family. Spears wrote the song two weeks before knowing she was pregnant with her first child, Sean Preston Federline. A pop ballad, "Someday (I Will Understand)" lyrics refer to a feeling of empowerment as a pregnant woman. A remixed version of the song was included on the 2005 remix compilation, B in the Mix: The Remixes.

"Someday (I Will Understand)" has received mixed reviews from music critics. A few reviewers considered it as a lesson on the singer's history and a "tear-jerker" ballad, while others considered it a non-savable "flop single". The song reached the top ten in Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland and also charted in a number of European countries. An accompanying music video, directed by Michael Haussman, premiered on the finale of Britney & Kevin: Chaotic. Entirely shot in black-and-white, the music video features Spears as a pregnant woman and portrays a transformation of her character. Contemporary critics noted the video as a departure from Spears' previous music videos, while comparing the imagery of it to American entertainer Madonna's Kabbalah makeover.
